Great input there, I expect you to be calling out every single piece of English you see incorrectly on this thread or is it a deliberate attempt because it’s me that’s posted.

It was an attempt at a joke. Apologies if I offended you. It really wasn't meant to.

The first goal should never of been a free kick and was taken about 5 yards further forwards than it should of been that meant we pretty much had to defend in a line. Just 2 other things the officials got wrong today

Nobody's perfect. You got two pieces of basic English wrong.

People thinking a flag on every lampost is a good thing. And if its upside down, it doesn't matter.

An absolutely perfect summary of refereeing of our games so far, and the referee's VAR safety blanket.

Goalkeeper

We get 19000 fans on home games. How do we fill a new stadium of 25000 plus. I'm sure I read that we have only ever had a waiting list for season tickets of around 100. Stay where we are and slowly develop the stadium.

Goalkeeper

£6.20 a pint, £5 for a pie and £3.30 for a Bene and hot?
Alan, its Burnley mate. We are paying £2.50 a pint before and after the game. No wonder "things ran smoother". People are not prepared to pay those prices.

No, it wasn’t me Lip. You’re talking about the real heroes - the hundreds of Northern Soul DJ’s who have been discovering and spinning these brilliant sounds since the late 1960’s. Special memory goes to local DJ Mick Collins (RIP) who made a ‘very rare uptempo soul’ C90 cassette for me (and my sis...

My wife and I have always used a shared email address. We received two emails yesterday, one with my first name, and one with hers. I copied mine into Google Wallet and she did the same on her phone. We now have the same numbered seat in both Google Wallets. What a system!

Brilliant Andy! Keeping the faith since 1969!

How do I find my wife on family and friends. She is added, and I can buy my ticket, but I can't find F&F anywhere, so can't buy her ticket for her.

I have noticed people complaining about social media whilst scanning social media.

It seems to be news to posters on here that Dubravka is an established Premier league goalkeeper. Trafford wasn't the best shot stopper we have ever had, but I would have liked him to have stayed and developed further with us. There is no hint of criticism from the match of the day pundits about any...

Any money they do get is mismanaged anyway.

It's a basket case.

If everyone could afford private healthcare I'd say get rid of it, unfortunately some people rely on it so it has to stay

I'm just patriotic. Get fed up of people slagging of our National Anthem and the Royals as well. It's all part of our countries heritage.

Just goes to show how effective right leaning press and media can be.
How does your fed-upness manifest itself?

The same happened with cigarettes. I suspect that more are on vapes these days because they’re far easier to enjoy than a cigarette ever was. No one ever had a first drag of a cigarette and thought ‘ooh that was nice, I’m going to get myself a twenty pack’. If you wanted to ‘fit in’ and be a ‘cool ...

What's not reasonable about it? It's on par or cheaper than most stadiums in the country.

At every away game that I went to last season, the beer was cheaper, the food was cheaper, the staff were far better organised, and there was a far better choice of different types of food.

I'd say Mee who looked very good at Championship level was even better when playing in the Prem.

True. He did spend some time in the Championship as left back, but definitely came into his own when he returned to his natural position of centre half.

Goalkeeper

Sometimes players can be more suited to the EPL than the championship. There isn't always a clear rule that players are better in one or the other league I can't really remember any players who were ok in the championship being even better in the Premier League. It's faster, more physical and its h...

My family lived on Padiham Road and Clough Street in the 50s and 60s. If they phoned for a doctor, it was either Dr Iven or Dr Kerr. Surely they weren't based up Pike Hill to serve that area of Burnley?

Goalkeeper

Joe Brown, Eddie Cliff, Dougie Collins and Dave Merrington were key members of what is now known as the Life Church, the newish building on Sycamore Avenue, near to where Gannow baths was situated.
Joe and Eddie were particularly devout.

Goalkeeper

Is this a whim from the OP, or is it a rumour on the usual sources?

Goalkeeper

Once again I will mention A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. Laugh out loud funny.

Point of order: Liverpool consistently failed to win trophies for much of shearer’s career.

Because they didn't have Shearer...

Goalkeeper

Impossible to look beyond Shearer. PL all time top goalscorer at two clubs that didn't consistently win trophies.
Can you imagine how many more he would have scored at Manchester United or Liverpool?

Goalkeeper

Muric was a joke and his incompetence directly lead to our relegation. He made easy saves look difficult, and was frustrating in that he never used his long frame when diving to either side. I rate him alongside Perer Mellor and Roger Hansbury.

Goalkeeper

Goalkeeper. All noted. I used a local Landscape garden firm about 4 months ago -3 man team, they used a small digger to remove 11- 50 year old conifers, I wanted the roots out not just the stumps cutting down, they then removed 5 ton of soil and debris, took delivery of new soil/ compost and then p...

Goalkeeper

Burnley based. The garden needs about 10, 8ft conifers removing, and few medium sized shrubs as well. Replacing flags with Indian stone or similar, improving a concrete area, probably with Indian stone again. Plus a new fence to replace the conifers, and a wrought iron gate fitting. We are also open...

Goalkeeper

Anyone recommend a good gardener for a reasonable existing garden, that needs more imagination. I know they are all busy, so I'm not in any rush for the work to start.

Goalkeeper

What should Alan do to keep you happy?

Goalkeeper

If we doubled the price, it would bring in another £6m or so.
The question should be, do we need to charge as much as we do? It would cost the club £6m to let season ticket holders on for free. A drop in the ocean for a premier league club.

Goalkeeper

Double post...

Apologies Brexit. I was writing an explanation of why this dismissal was automatically unfair, and somehow I posted it. It looks rude, and it really wasn't meant to be.

What if he tips it on to the post and it rolls in

Goal, because he hasn't saved it.

Goalkeeper

What would happen in this instance, if the shot hits the post then rebounds off the back of the keeper and goes in? Is it an own goal? A goal kick? Interesting. It's quite clearly a goal as the keeper hasn't saved it. If he touches it onto the post, the game stops. But I don't think it should be ch...

'Wyn the Leap' might have been a reference to Welsh Lynn Davies who won long jump Olympic gold in 1964.

Nope. Wyn the Leap was Wyn Davies.

Goalkeeper

Have a look at a Boardman Comp on pre loved sites. You can pick one up for around £200. I had mine for 11 years and it was still in excellent condition when it was stolen last year. I did thousands of miles and it was so comfortable and well made. In fact, I'm looking for one myself!

Nick named 'The Mighty Wyn' probably in reference to Manfred Mann's 'The Mighty Quinn'

His nickname was Wyn the Leap. He seemed to get higher than everyone else and could really head a ball.

Goalkeeper

Cole Palmer didn't come over very well in the post match interview. In fact he was embarrassing.

Goalkeeper

Well done. I've done the Leeds and Liverpool canal over 2 days twice. The second time in horrendous conditions, with the wind and rain in our faces every inch of the bloody way, so I know how tough these challenges can be.
Well done again and a donation made to a very worthy cause.

Goalkeeper

So does everyone agree, this signing is going to keep us in the Premier league, and we can see him tearing down the wing, destroying defences, or is it a bit of a poor underwhelming signing, that has us poor fans thinking why?

Goalkeeper

Some excellent suggestions, particularly A Confederacy of Dunces. But isn't this absolutely Clarets Mad all over? Poster asks for fiction reads and gets a few non fiction!

However, they were very good suggestions though.

Thanks H. Will be in touch with Phil when we get sorted.
